Luke 2:11-14 (NIV)
11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been
born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a
sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a
manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host
appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
The sign to the shepherds was a baby in a feed trough.
Pretty potent sign isn't it! The Almighty Creator of the universe sleeping
where the sheep and goats have eaten their grain and hay. That God would love
us so much as to reduce himself to such an inauspicious beginning reminds us
why the angels praise him so. He is glorious and yet he chose not to hide or
protect that glory, but instead he shared it so we could find it, too!
Thought for today:
Can I humble myself to share?
